we paid nearly 4000/- for the stay. it was not worth that money. room was clean and okay, but it was worth only half the rent. cupboard is required in the room. also, the room felt congested with no glass doors or windows to enjoy the view.

3/5
the stay was comfortable for us. but because a lot of the other travelers kept going to the beach, the dorms were mostly dirty. the staff was prompt in cleaning. outside food was not allowed and that alone made it a little bad because sometimes we just wanted to order in and stay in our cozy which didn't happen in this case.

    It was an awesome experience with zostel. I had stayed there for 5 days and really like the overall atmosphere and vibe. The service was totally satisfactory and the staffs were really friendly. They do maintain a neat and hygienic environment. Coming to the cafe, they do provide good and tasty food. The vibe in cafe is also good. The cafe has a caring and friendly staff. Overall it was a good experience and I would really recommend for group of friends or solo souls travelling to meet new people.
